I'm fucking pumped for the new Sakanaction album. It isn't far off either. The new single Music is really good too.

That's pretty good. It's the theme song of the drama dinner by the way, I assume it will give them some exposure.

I've been listening to MEG over the past few days, really like this artist :
WEAR I AM
TRAP
TOUGH BOY which is a cover of the second opening of Hokuto No Ken. This version was produced by the telephones.
セブンティーン・ランデヴー

new Cornelius album, soundtrack to a TV show as far as i can tell https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/dezaina/id591881199
there is a clever interactive video thing for one of the songs here http://www.nhk.or.jp/design-ah/ah-song/
to start it you have to draw the Japanese character 'ah' which looks like this あ - cute!

Really nice to see Kasai there. I kind of thought that they'd leave her out since that controversy that she's in is getting worse and worse by the day.

 

[V_Arnold]

I just came across this nice piece of collaboration between my two favorite male singers in Japan: Nishikawa Takanori and Gackt - singing together, yo!!!

Makes me wish that they did a project together, but sadly that is not gonna happen, realistically

Well DOLL$BOXX take the cake (in terms of technical prowess) in the 'rock bands that look like idols' category. Hilarious send-up of tropes at the start as well http://youtu.be/mu2z4Uf9Tgc

Wait...isn't that Gacharic Spin? I know I recognize Hana (the girl with blue hair). Did they change their name or is that just some spinoff group?

 

[Peru]

Yeah they got together with FUKI from LIGHT BRINGER. I guess this is the new permanent constellation? Lots of videos to go with the debut released in December http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZhuzMmO03o

 

[RM8]

I am currently in love with Tasaki Asahi's debut single Rolling Days / Tegami. So good, especially Tegami.

No real shocking song placements today. I think people are still shocked by how low Beginner and River placed. Mostly since they're seen as two of AKB's "cool" songs.

And looks like we dodged a bullet after tgsk's appearance. A management shuffle isn't too bad, although some SKE fans don't like the idea of Yuasa being replaced.

Music video for the new Sakanaction single. It's pretty weird.

Really nice, as expected from Sakanaction. Song has been stuck in my head for a few days too.

Totally read for the NYC Kyary Pamyu Pamyu concert. Bought my tickets today.

Amazing MV

holy shit i totally missed this <3

 

[Kurita]

Yup, that Shugo Tokumaru's PV is amazing, and the song is pretty cool too!

Anyways, I've listened to THE BAWDIES latest album, 1-2-3. What can I say... It's a BAWDIES album, so you always know what to expect from this band. But still, it's always a pleasure to listen to them, it's impossible not to dance.

Listening to the last wave of 2012 releases to make up my mind as I have received some of the CDs I have ordered,but I have to say that Androps's One and Zero is a bit of a disappointing, especially considering that the CD was way more expensive than the others. Hope it grows on me. I have to say Toe's The Future is Now is a great EP.

 

[leroidys]

I've been loving some Hisato Higuchi lately.

I know it's not realy gaf's thing, but check it out if you like minimalist experimental music.

I listened to his album released last year, dude's got talent.

Unrelated, I've been listening to a lot of Yuzu, Ikimino-Gakari, moumoon lately. If you want some good pop-ish music try them.

I've been obsessed with Goosehouse lately. basically they are a group of young singers that live together and put out cover on youtube. They're all acoustic and are mad talented with guitars. Beside covering pop songs, they've also put out a few mini albums which are very good and available on Amazon mp3. Their songs and videos are usually cheery and very fun to listen to after a day at work

Their youtube channel is here

They always translate the names for some reason.

So... uh... this happened:

AKB48 girl shaved her head in apology after getting caught having a relationship.

(her official punishment was getting demoted)

The (sad) realities of being an idol. Also part of that is that she'd be out the group right now if it weren't for the fact that she's extremely popular. Instead they just demoted her to the research group. But she'll be ok

I'm really interested in seeing how this affects her in the senbatsu elections. I really think that it's going to cause a bunch of her fans, and fans of other girls to vote for her to stick it to management and certain fans. She's unlikely to be Yuko, but I could see her ending up in the top 5.

One of the most popular indie bands at the moment, they'll even play at the Budokan! I'm really happy to see how fast they became well-known.

Been into I Want City lately. They only have one album out so far that was released in 2009 I think but I was just exposed to it recently and it's really awesome. Very cool post-punk stuff

I Want City - She is Beautiful
I Want City - South Africa
